5 Yoga Classes for Parents

They say that being a parent is the toughest, yet most rewarding job in the world. It comes with more responsibility and stress than any other occupation, so that’s why it’s sp important that we have the ability to cultivate mindfulness and presence, acceptance and awareness, compassion and gratitude so we can be the best we can be; the greatest gift we can give to our kids.

This week’s featured classes will help you navigate the road of parenthood through breath, body and mind awareness.

• Meditation for Parens with David Wagner: Clear the deck by using this end of the day meditation to brush away accumulated energies and get clear. Connect to the classical seven energy centers or chakras to notice and release tension and built up stress. This class is especially for parents with young kids in the house. While rewarding, parenting can also be stressful. Gain relief for the minds and hearts of those caring for little ones.
• Stretch Sesh for Parents & Teens: Stretching and conscious breathing are both integral to a healthy lifestyle and the earlier we start the better. A perfect way for parents to practice yoga with their tweens and or teens, while instilling in each other the importance of family time and self care. Props Needed: A strap.
• Relax the Struggle with Giselle Mari: When you’re a parent, combined with having a stressful job, have a lot on your emotional plate or all of the above, this brief guided meditation practice gives you a moment to step back from the chaos and let go of the struggle. A little goes a long way, and can be practiced at any time of day. Props Suggested: One or two blankets.
• Baby & Me: Get Up and Flow with Jason Crandell: If you’re a new parent, you are probably in desperate need of more rest and more exercise. Designed for you and your pre-crawling baby, this is a slightly more active, up-tempo practice that includes reclined twists, salutations, standing poses, and shoulder and hip openers. It is the type of practice that you won’t be able to do with your baby once they start crawling because you’ll be too busy chasing them down! Savor this sweet practice with you and your loved one.
• Yoga Bonding with Noah Maze: Bond with your child in this playful and interactive practice of sun salutations, standing poses and handstands. Try out Koala Bear as you play, breathe and move with your little one. Savor each moment.
